Confirming. The Web Console is flooded with messages like this:

[18:12:16.071] Element referenced by ID/NAME in the global scope. Use W3C standard document.getElementById() instead. @ http://img2.bet007.com/js/analysis_ad.js:8

Not sure if that's the problem though.

Attachment: Test case

This alerts "undefined" in FF4, "[object HTMLDivElement]" in Chrome...

I don't think this is a JS bug. CC'ing some people who might know.

Attachment: Test case

Reduced to this:

<div id="test">
  <input type="checkbox" onclick="alert(this.parentElement)">Check me!
</div>

parentElement isn't part of the W3C DOM.  Is this an IE-ism webkit copied?

Comment 6

[Jan de Mooij [:jandem]]

Hm this looks like a duplicate of bug 609856, which says it's standardized now?

No it doesn't. It basically says that .parentElement may be standardized once Web DOM core stabilizes.

Comment 8

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The question is whether we should be talking to this site in the meantime, since there are no immediate plans to implement parentElement and it's not clear whether it will stay in Web DOM core.

Comment 9

[Brendan Eich [:brendan]]

So undup and make this a TE bug?

Comment 10

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

Well, that's the question.  Is it worth spending TE resources on this, or do we plan to implement parentElement in the timeframe in which TE might work (several months at least).

Comment 11

[Jonas Sicking (:sicking) No longer reading bugmail consistently]

I wouldn't be opposed to implementing parentElement for next release, at least assuming that the implementation is what you'd expect it to be and doesn't have a lot of weird quirks (this has happened with the most simple looking APIs in the past).

In that case it might not be worth the TE.
